Apparently,
the evidence gathered by the House Intelligence Committee and contained in the
FISA Memo indicates there were activities related to FISA done by the FBI to
influence the 2016 presidential election. In addition, it appears that the
Trump campaign might have illegally been under surveillance and that a large
number of Americans were “unmasked” as part of FISA warrant(s).

Plus,
the FISA warrant(s) might have been issued based on the Trump Dossier, an
apparent campaign smear document paid for by the Clinton campaign and the DNC
for about $9 million. Money went to Perkins Coie (a law firm), then to Fusion
GPS (an opposition research firm), then Christopher Steele (a former MI-6
Russian spy). Also, the Associate Deputy Attorney General, Bruce Ohr, did not
report his meetings with Fusion GPS and Christopher Steele. Note that Bruce
Ohr’s wife, Nellie Ohr, worked for Fusion GPS on the Trump Dossier. [more...]

For too long, America has been led by a naive embrace of
free trade that overlooks the predatory behavior of our trade competitors.
Widespread trade cheating and poorly designed trade deals have led to
persistent U.S. trade deficits causing job losses, manufacturing decline and
income stagnation. Many nations push their currency values lower, and the
dollar higher, to gain a price advantage in global market at our expense. Their
governments subsidize manufacturing in order to “dump” product in the U.S. market
at below cost. These predatory practices violate world trade law and destroy
American industries. Thankfully, President Trump appears willing to confront
such abuses by punishing trade violators and renegotiating job-killing trade
agreements. [more...]

The Senate’s Democratic leader Charles Schumer offered
President Trump far less than one-tenth the money needed for “the wall,” then
quickly withdrew his meager offer after illegal immigrant “dreamer” radical
protestors attacked him and stormed his home. They demanded that his party
grant them immediate, unconditional citizenship and cease all bargaining with
the President. Senator Schumer quickly took the side of self-righteous illegals
against law-abiding, tax-paying U.S. citizens. The Democrats ceased to be an
American political party when they became globalist and embraced their
President Obama’s new allegiance as a “citizen of the world.” If neither the
country of Mexico nor the Democrat Party will agree to pay for the border wall,
President Trump does have other ways and means of doing so. He and the
Republican Party, for example, could impose a 20 percent tax or tariff on
imports, which would be paid in part by Americans in higher prices, to have
“Mexico pay for the wall.” Better yet, we could impose a “border adjustment
tax.” [more...]

Over time the entertainment industry and its accompanying
awards shows seem to have grown ever more political, and the 90th Academy
Awards ceremony looks as if it will prove to be consistent with the
left-leaning trend. The Oscars event is ostensibly designed to provide
recognition to the highest achievement of motion picture artistry and has
conventionally been viewed as the pinnacle of award shows. This year, however,
Hollywood has a number of attendant things on its collective mind, including
having to atone for a host of industry wide offenses. [more...]

On
the latest edition of REVOLUTION_The
Podcast... we examine the escalating pressure on both sides of the Trump-Russia
Investigation. Will President Trump actually accede to an “under oath”
interview with the Mueller Team - or will he back out, or plead the 5th? Will
the hard right in the GOP disregard Mueller’s findings and instead claim it’s
all part of a Deep State, anti-Trump, “rigged” investigation? How does this
“Russia thing” - as Trump called it - finally conclude? [more...]

Rep.
Melissa Hortman, the Democrat leader of the Minnesota House, took a stand
against Islamic extremism when she sent a letter demanding that Republicans
cancel a visit by Muslim activist Raheel Raza because of her ties to
“extremist” groups. Were the Democrats suddenly reevaluating their
relationships to Islamic hate groups linked to the Muslim Brotherhood such as
CAIR and ISNA? Raheel Raza, the president of Council for Muslims Facing
Tomorrow, is a recipient of the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee medal and
Toronto’s Constance Hamilton award. She’s a diversity consultant and interfaith
activist who taught a series on “Women in Islam” at Ryerson University. The
“extremist” groups are the Clarion Fund and Act for America which monitor
Islamic militancy. [more...]

We
just attended the North American Bitcoin conference in beautiful Miami Florida.
Over 4,000 people attended. There were more millennial billionaires in one
place then we’ll ever see again in my life. 30 plus companies/block chain
purveyors presented at a cost of $20,000 per 15 minutes. Our good friend Jeff
Berwick was present preaching his anarcho-capitalist way of life, and was very
well received. Everyone presenter had a similar story to tell/sell. The block
chain is revolutionizing commerce, law, banking, investing and any other sector
of the life that you can think of. [more...]

A
week after the election, groups inside and outside the government, some calling
themselves Obama Anonymous, had begun meeting to plan the “resistance” to
Trump. Unlike the angry protesters in the streets, this resistance wasn’t a new
organization. It consisted of Washington, D.C. government lifers. At the CFPB,
there was a group calling itself Dumbledore’s Army. Within the FBI and the DOJ,
there was a nameless “secret society.” Its details are being derived from text
messages exchanged between Peter Strzok, a disgraced member of Mueller’s team,
and his mistress, Lisa Page, who worked for FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe.
Previous Strzok texts had spoken of taking out “insurance” against a Trump win.
This was all the more significant since Strzok had investigated Hillary and
interviewed Flynn. He was a crucial figure in both the investigations of
Hillary Clinton and President Trump. [more...]

A
short-term resolution was made ending the 3-day government shutdown. The vote
held on Monday was a short compromise as members from both sides urged their
party leaders to find a resolution and get federal employees back to work.
However, the vote came late in the work day, after hundreds of thousand federal
workers were put on furlough. The resolution was passed with a 266-159 vote in
the house and 81-18 in the senate, but with some contingencies. The Democrats
agreed to stop the shutdown if the republicans agree to hold a vote for a
legislative fix to DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals). But the
resolution is on a running clock. [more...]

The
Coalition for a Prosperous America (CPA) applauds the Trump Administration’s
decision to impose safeguard tariffs on imports of
solar panels and clothes washers. America invented solar cell technology. But
China stole that technology and has massively subsidized solar production for
the purpose of dominating the global solar industry. The president’s decision
to impose safeguard tariffs is a key first step in correcting the market and
giving America’s solar panel manufacturers a chance to get on solid footing.” [more...]

The
anonymous attack on comedian Aziz Ansari, essentially for being a lousy date
and inconsiderate sex partner, has led some to think that the spate of attacks
on men for sexual harassment and assault might be slowing down. Although
the account by “Grace,” the pseudonymous accuser, has
been defended by many, others who have supported the outing
of sexual assaulters have drawn the line at lumping bad dates in with more
serious sexual malfeasance. Still others hope that the absurdity of Grace’s
charges will force a rollback of the ever-escalating demonization of men guilty
of nothing more than failing to fulfill a woman’s subjective expectations even
when not made explicit.[more...]

Did Christopher Steele
Write His Dossier or Did a Russian Associate?Directed
by Joel
Gilbert

Among
the few givens in the unfolding drama of alleged Russia-Trump collusion is that
former MI6 intelligence officer Christopher Steele wrote the Donald
Trump-Russia dossier, alternately known as the "Steele Dossier." This
is the notorious document that purports to detail "Republican candidate
Donald Trump's activities in Russia and compromising relationship with the
Kremlin." The above quote is from the subhead of the document, titled
"Company Intelligence Report 2016/080," yet the same subhead
hints at a disturbing pattern evident throughout the document: it appears to be
written by someone whose native language is something other than English. [more...]

We all know why Democrats were eager to use a government
shutdown to force a path to citizenship for Latino aliens called “Dreamers.” Now
up to 36 years of age and numbering up to 3.6 million, these potential voters
are inclined to vote two-to-one in favor of Democrats who have thus far refused
to negotiate whether Dreamers, if made legal immigrants, can sponsor their
parents and other relatives as legal residents and, soon thereafter, voting
U.S. citizens... moving them ahead of other applicants. [more...]

We
Must Teach Students the Importance of Free Speech

Every week we hear more calls to silence speakers,
essentially moving to kill one of the freedoms our founding fathers fought to
secure. Americans need to understand that undermining the First Amendment is a
slippery slope. Too often, university administrators are caving to - or
creating - a “heckler’s veto” - a tactic by opponents of free speech to drown
out the voices of others who have differing opinions. Watch our
video here. [more...]

President Trump is the first occupant of the Oval Office
to truly understand and fully embrace the digital universe in which we all find
ourselves immersed. It comes, then, as no surprise that his enemies continue to
try to discourage the president from fully participating in social media
activity. The digital debate continues to escalate as does the virtual war. Most
notably, a recent four-page memorandum that has been circulating in Congress,
which reportedly reveals alleged United States government surveillance abuses,
has been depicted in the following manner by legislators who have had the opportunity
to preview its contents: “shocking,” “troubling,” and “alarming.” [more...]

Text
messages between two FBI employees (who were also romantically involved) -
Peter Strzok and Lisa Page - during the 2016 presidential election, were
revealed Monday by Attorney General Jeff Sessions. There were 50,000 text
messages between the two FBI employees. Plus, apparently another batch of messages
were missing during a 5-month period from December 14, 2016 to May 17, 2017. These
text messages, rather than clearing up issues, raise additional issues about
the potential involvement of the FBI and the Obama administration in reacting
to the election of Trump. What new issues do these FBI text messages raise? [more...]

President Trump’s “America
first” trade strategy will likely gain momentum as 2018 gets underway. The
promised “renegotiation” of NAFTA is in full swing; and America’s solar panel,
steel, and aluminum manufacturers are eagerly awaiting decisions in trade cases
involving heavily subsidized imports from China. Many domestic manufacturers
are reporting increased sales because President Trump’s trade rhetoric has
caused multinationals to look harder for American sourcing. The administration
is clearly serious. Already this year, promised efforts to revisit the 2012
U.S.-South Korea trade agreement have begun. This is important since America’s
trade deficit with South Korea has more than doubled from $13 billion
in 2011 to $27 billion in 2016. [more...]

According to FBI statistics, the
nationwide, decades-long decline in violent crime, to include homicide,
reversed itself and increased since 2014. Will President Trump’s vocal support
of law enforcement help reverse the trend and be reflected in 2017 crime
statistics? There is no doubt that Presidents Obama and Trump have differing
views of law enforcement. Obama and the liberals took the political position of
demonizing law enforcement and treating offenders as victims in order to
motivate his African American base. The cost of that position was a high one,
if linked to increases in violent crime and homicide or the increasing ambush
and deadly attacks on police in 2016-2017. Trump, on the other hand, has
taken every opportunity to praise the brave men and women of law enforcement.
He did so as a candidate and continues to do so as President. He dismisses the
notion of all law enforcement officers as racists and insists on personal
accountability for those accused of breaking the law. [more...]

When Time picks an abstract
concept as its ‘Thing of the Year,’ it’s the kiss of death. So, #MeToo
was headed for trouble as soon as it became Time’s ‘Thing of the
Year.’ The best way to fight one hashtag was with another hashtag;
#TimesUp replaced #MeToo. But where #MeToo was a raw personal accusation,
#TimesUp was an impersonal leftist slogan of political urgency. In
true Hollywood style, the solution is sending a lot of money to an established
lefty group to tackle the problem: the National Women’s Law Center. It’s the
same old Harvey Weinstein solution. Throw money at a trendy lefty cause and
keep on inviting actresses up to your hotel room. Play the noble celebrity hero
saving poor people in flyover country by writing big checks to big lefty
insiders in major cities. [more...]

Fifty
years ago, the movie that changed the movies premiered. Anybody old enough to
remember films before “Bonnie and Clyde” can testify to the jolting
power of Arthur Penn’s kinetic blend of bluegrass slapstick, Depression-era
nostalgia and gruesome, stylized violence. But something else was revealed
then, something that I, just 14 at the time, was too callow and ignorant to
notice behind the movie’s aesthetic sheen - the moral idiocy that has since
come to define so much of contemporary American popular culture. “Bonnie and
Clyde” staked a claim to a moral seriousness that supposedly validated the
stylistic innovations and elevated the film beyond mere flashy entertainment. [more...]

A recent poll by YouGov finds 58% of millennials would
prefer to live in “a socialist, communist or fascist nation rather than a
capitalistic one,” the Washington Times
reports, with a staggering 44% preferring socialism. “This troubling turn
highlights widespread historical illiteracy in American society regarding
socialism and the systemic failure of our education system to teach students
about the genocide, destruction and misery caused by communism since the
Bolshevik Revolution one hundred years ago,” Marion Smith, Executive Director
of the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation, said in a statement. Only two
years ago, the same group found 36% of millennials have a positive opinion of
socialism - so the trend is troubling, to say the least.[more...]

It is expected that the Oscars telecast will follow the
lead of the other awards shows and make Hollywood’s sex scandals a frazzled
thread woven throughout the proceedings. Of concern for the Academy, though, is
something involving actor James Franco. The Hollywood star has been viewed as
an actual contender, not only for a nomination for an Academy Award for his
work in “The Disaster Artist,” but also as a top tier candidate for a Best
Actor trophy at the Oscar telecast. Critics are raving about Franco’s portrayal
of the real-life director of “The Room,” which is said by critics and fans to
be the worst film ever made. The particular predicament for the Academy, at
this extraordinary time in Hollywood history, are some allegations that have
been raised against Franco concerning sexually inappropriate behavior. Five
women have accused him of inappropriate or sexually exploitative conduct,
according to an investigation by The Los
Angeles Times.

It’s
just about one year since president-elect Trump was inaugurated president. It’s
been a contentious first year in office and the question is: “Who’s ahead in
the on-going battle to run America and steer the ship of State?” Is it
President Trump, the old mainstream media that is fighting to influence
Americans, or is the out-of-control Democratic Party that offers only
resistance and vitriolic rhetoric against this populist president? Let’s
examine the economy, foreign policy, the old mainstream media and the Dems... [more...]

The reason lunatic North Korea has nukes is Jimmy Carter, who,
when acting as emissary from President Bill Clinton, promised that the United
States would not halt Communist North Korea’s nuclear program – and would,
instead, provide its dictatorial dynasty with billions of dollars in aid.
If nuclear missile attacks become real – God forbid! – remember that former
Presidents Carter, Clinton, and Obama are to blame. And when you see Mika
Brzezinski attacking President Trump on MSNBC, remember that her father was
President Carter’s National Security Advisor, Zbigniew Brzezinski, who proposed
that our Persian Gulf fleet shoot down Israeli warplanes if they tried to
destroy Iran’s nuclear facilities. [more...]

A major construction firm with multiple contracts across

On
the latest edition of REVOLUTION_The

and Fury was published. What has this book done to Trump? Has it deflated
him? Is he suddenly vulnerable? What about Steve Bannon? Is he now out to pay
back Trump for engineering his removal from Breitbart? Has Rupert Murdoch begun
to turn on Trump in the Wall Street Journal and the New York Post? What about
Fox News - will Murdoch move it away from supporting Trump? Is this, as Michael

The
mullocracy in Iran is bragging that it has crushed the demonstrations against
the regime that broke out on December 28. Regime change from within still
remains a forlorn hope, as the theocratic police state has employed its usual
brutal violence and intimidation to deny the protestors any momentum. Burning
identification cards and electrical bills seem the last recourse for those brave
Iranians abandoned by the so-called “global community” that averts its gaze
from the destruction of human rights it pretends to worship.[more...]

Late last year, Apple issued an apology for deliberately
slowing down old iPhone models through software updates. Many of its customers
had suspected this for years, and now legal action has been taken against Apple
for its actions. Apple apologized, but said that it slowed down the phones to
prolong the life of older phone models with failing batteries. But now, Apple
is under investigation in France. It is the third country to investigate Apple
following Israel and the U.S., but it is the only country where the alleged
offense is a crime. If found guilty, Apple may have to pay a penalty of
up to 5% of their annual turnover, which is huge for a multi-billion-dollar
company, and some of its executives may even face jail time. [more...]

Peter
Strzok wanted some insurance. The senior FBI figure, who had participated in
the Hillary e-mail investigation, interviewed Flynn and had been part of Team
Mueller, wasn't looking to State Farm for his insurance needs. Chatting
with his mistress, an FBI lawyer who worked for Deputy FBI Director Andrew
McCabe, Strzok worried that Trump might win. “I want to believe the path you
threw out for consideration in Andy’s office - that there’s no way [Trump] gets
elected - but I’m afraid we can’t take that risk,” he wrote. “It’s like an
insurance policy in the unlikely event you die before you’re 40.” [more...]

An
independent public opinion poll published late last year shows growing public
awareness of U.S. job loss due to imports, as well as growing public support of
the view that NAFTA has been bad for the U.S. The poll was carried out by the
University of Maryland’s School of Public Policy, surveying 2,745 Americans.
The report is entitled: Globalization and
Trade, A Study of American Attitudes. The researchers conducting the poll
compared the results to similar polls in 2016 and in 1999. The results show a
clear trend of greater awareness of the negative consequences of unfettered
free trade. [more...]

On
the latest edition of REVOLUTION_The

revelations in Michael Wolff's new book, FIRE AND FURY - the disdain his
senior staffers have for him; the private doubts they have about his
competence; the vicious backbiting and competition among the various factions
surrounding him. How does this impact the GOP, the conservative movement and
the Mueller Investigation? [more...]

While campaigning last year, then candidate Trump, often
referred to the growing opioid epidemic and the need to combat violent
criminals and organizations. On February 9, 2017, within weeks of being sworn
in to office, he signed an Executive Order establishing a task force on Crime
Reduction and Public Safety. In furtherance of the presidential order, Attorney
General Sessions established the national Public Safety Partnership (PSP) in
June 2017. PSP provides an innovative framework for DOJ to enhance its support
of state, tribal, and local law enforcement officers and prosecutors in the
investigation, prosecution, and deterrence of violent crime, especially that
related to gun violence, gangs, and drug trafficking. The timing of the
initiative couldn’t be better. [more...]

Nikki Haley, the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations,
concisely highlighted the usefulness of the president’s Twitter account by
explaining the diplomatic value of the “nuclear button” tweet. During an
appearance on ABC’s “This Week,” when asked whether the president’s tweet was a
good idea, Haley responded, “I think that [Trump] always has to keep Kim on his
toes. It’s very important that we don’t ever let him get so arrogant that he
doesn’t realize the reality of what would happen if he started a nuclear war.” Haley
said North Korea should clearly understand that the United States means
business when it comes to Kim. [more...]

Days ago, as the northeast was battered by some of the
coldest weather in a century, global warming huckster Al Gore claimed that the
chill was a sign that Earth is getting warmer, not colder. Gore is being
deceptive. Global warmists say that snow happens when warmth evaporates water
into the air, where it freezes into snow. The weather bomb remembered as the
March Blizzard of 1888 buried New York City in snowdrifts 30 feet deep. But
January 2018’s record cold caused relatively little snow. It was mostly just
Arctic cold that could cause frostbite in minutes, or even death.[more...] [Read Part I here...]

Given
the long-range trends and short-range trends in play that favor conservative
candidates, it is unlikely that Oprah Winfrey might get elected president.
Because of her popularity, her voter intensity would probably be much higher
that Hillary Clinton; but her political stands would make it difficult for her
to win. Given the divided and fragmented Democratic Party, it is possible that
she could win the nomination. She might also secure a nomination from a
third party as well. But, it’s highly improbable that she will be elected
president in 2020. [more...]

Later
this month, President Trump faces one of the biggest trade decisions of his
presidency. By Jan. 26th, the president must decide whether to levy duties on
solar cell and module imports, and what level those duties should be. The
International Trade Commission (ITC) found in September that the industry has
suffered injury from imports from China and elsewhere, and unanimously
recommended that duties should be levied. The two complainants, struggling
solar manufacturing companies Suniva and SolarWorld, have each said the
recommended duties are not high enough to save the manufacturing industry,
while the SEIA (the national trade association for the U.S. solar industry)
has loudly protested that duties could have a negative impact on industry
growth. [more...]

Withdrawal
from the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) is likely to boost stock
prices, employment and economic growth. Republican Senators told the White
House earlier this week that NAFTA withdrawal will harm the stock market. But
that claim is based on outdated, incorrect views on trade and investment. America’s
economy and wages grew faster before the modern trade agreement era. But our
manufacturing members saw substantial growth last year in part because of trade
agreement uncertainty and a new focus from business on finding sources of
supply within the U.S. The new approach is raising production and employment at
U.S. manufacturers. Their biggest problem now has become finding skilled workers
to meet new demand. [more...]

It is difficult to decipher what exactly is driving some
of Hollywood’s questionable decisions of late. On the heels of the entertainment
industry’s choice of Anita Hill as sexual harassment czar, the announcement
that former co-host of “The Man Show” and current late-night political pawn
Jimmy Kimmel will once again take the Oscar stage as host of the show.

This will be Kimmel’s second consecutive year as emcee,
despite the fact that the results of his last go-round were anything but
stellar. The telecast scored low ratings, and there was the infamous gaffe in
which “La La Land” was mistakenly announced as the winner for Best Picture,
when in fact “Moonlight” was the movie that had taken the top spot.

It could be that Kimmel’s recent hyper-political
correctness caught the attention of the Academy, particularly when he
jettisoned comedy to do opinion pieces on controversial political topics,
including health care and gun control. He purposely used his show to lobby
against the effort of the Republican Congress to repeal and replace Obamacare,
and he received the gratitude of many on the left for helping to thwart the
legislation. [more...]

I predict, in the January 2018 issue of Real Money Perspectives, many
factors may devastate the American economy in the New Year. Most of Europe’s
nations are being dissolved into the new empire of the European Union, in which
national borders no longer control immigration or trade. As I explained in Money,
Morality & The Machine, this “Superstate,” as founder Jean
Monnet envisioned it, was to be created piecemeal, by deception, with Europeans
denied a democratic vote on whether to undo their national identity. The EU
would be - and now is - run by an elite of unelected progressive Eurocrats.[more...] [Read Part I here...]

Last
year, my article “Trump the Workaholic-in-Chief” explained how this was all
going to work out. While both parties in Congress did their best to obstruct
Trump’s cabinet picks and derail his agenda, they were largely unsuccessful.
The reason is that they completely failed to understand the value of his
workaholism and work ethic. And he managed to get all this accomplished while
playing even more golf than Obama. Unlike his predecessor, who would do
anything possible to avoid the dreadful Oval Office and putting in a full day’s
work, Trump actually uses the golf course as an extension of the workplace. Key
lawmakers and those important to getting things done are kept virtually captive
for 3-4 hours. During that time, they are subjected to a non-stop charm
offensive that helps Trump get his way. [more...]

2017
was the year that the United States of America got up off its knees. It was the
year that we stopped following the world and started leading it. It was the
year that our booming economy accomplished the impossible. It was the year that
we became a great nation again. And one man is responsible for that: President
Trump promised to make America great again, and every day, it’s happening.
Factory workers and small businesspeople, farmers and ranchers, soldiers and
police officers are waking up to a renewed America. Time chose
a social justice hashtag as its ‘Thing of the Year.’ We’re choosing the
man who turned the country around as our “Man of the Year.” [more...]

After
some fleeting electoral successes, some Democrats are anticipating a blue wave,
not a red wave, or a conservative wave in the 2018 Congressional elections.

agenda, worry 2018 might not be a good year for the GOP. Are these fears

Following
a pipeline explosion in Libya, crude oil prices have risen to over $60 a
barrel. This marks the highest oil has been in 2.5 years. Reports from Libya’s
state-run National Oil Corporation stated that the explosion jeopardized output
by 100,000 barrels a day. U.S. crude oil rose by 2.5% last week, this was
following a spike it had last month when the Keystone pipeline was shut down
due to an oil spill. But prices still remain low compared to the $100 per
barrel price seen 3 years ago. The past couple of years have been tough for the
oil industry, and it has been trying to rebound for some time now.[more...]
